I went out to buy bacon at the supermarket, but instead I found this fancy pigeon wandering around one of the neighboring apartment complexes.
So um... I guess I have a pigeon now. At least I like pigeons, so it could be a lot worse.
Please note: that black stuff on my bath tub mat is spray paint, not gross stuff. I was barefoot when I painted the sergal armor, oops XD

I really have no idea! She's not a wild kind, she's a lot more robust than they are and she's an albino besides. She's stick-thin, so my money's on abandoned pet. Who the fuck throws a bird outside or stops feeding it (it it was an outdoor pigeon), especially in the middle of a Canadian winter?!
Through out the Ace Ventura movies (this started in the first one), Ace tried to find an albino pigeon with an award of $25,000 if found. He nearly catches the bird at least a handful of times and always fails.

That's my baby, Cy! He is a mix between some type of pigeon and a dove.
Yours definitely looks like a white homer/racer though the feet are a little more red than normal. Could be a "mutt", that's basically what mine is, no one can identify what breeds he is mixed of but can agree he is pigeon/dove cross.

No idea! Mine was the same way when I found him, fattened him up on a Parakeet seed mix plus safe veggies. He is quite healthy/happy now. Yeah, the "diaper" was the best thing ever! Since he can't fly, the diaper is the only way for him to come out. If he could fly I would just let him loose around the house no problem, as he knows to go to cage or trash can to poop. But he can't so he needs the diaper to walk around or be carried.
Yours could probably learn to wear one, once she was hands friendly. It shouldn't take long with careful, often handling and giving of treats. The current hostility is possibly because she/he doesn't know you and doesn't feel well.

Wall of text ahead....I don't know how much experience you have with pigeons or birds in general, and this isn't how many people do it, it is just how I did to train/hand tame mine and it worked quite well.
It wasn't too hard to train my baby to poo only in spots we designated. The cage part was easier than the trash can, as pigeons already do the whole clean out the nest routine all by themselves instinctively. I made sure that when he started to poo in one spot where the mess was easier to contain, I would then remove the droppings from the rest of the cage, leaving the droppings in the spot I wanted him to poo in. Left them in there for a couple of days and kept removing the poo from the spots I didn't want him to leave the mess in. Changed all the papers in the cage on the third day and did the whole routine again. Took three weeks of this before he was pooing only in the corner of the cage, with small accidents in other parts.
Trash can was a little harder. As he can't fly, I have to take him out of the cage when he needs to go, best way to know when is to watch how they move right before they do the deed. And start taking them out whenever they start acting like they need to go. I put a bell in his cage and started watching him to see when he needed to go, then when he started the odd walk and backing up and lifting the tail, I rang the bell, pulled him out and held him over the trash can (which I had moved over by the cage just for this purpose) and waited till he got his mood back (five seconds) and when he pooed, I told him he was a good boy and fed him a treat (he loves bell pepper seeds). I kept on this for a month or so, taking him out whenever I caught him needing to go, ringing the bell right before I pulled him out, and rewarded him when he pooed in the trash can. Soon he figured out that if he rang the bell, and then waited until I pulled him out to poo in the trash can (or toilet in a hotel when we travel) he would not only get a treat, but it meant he didn't have poo in his cage.
We have a travel cage that you put toy breeds of dogs in and used it for him when we travel, and put a bell in there too. Whenever we hear the bell and are able to pull him out (we are stopped at a truck stop or whatever) we do it. If not, we just put an extra bit of paper towel down in the corner and he automatically goes to the thickest part (the folded paper towel) and does his business. We then take out the soiled paper and continue on our merry way. He is very smart, and we started all this when he was very young, about a year old. Though he seems to learn new things all the time and he is almost 13 years old now.
Starlings are awesome, some can be trained, others they choose not to be XD
With your pigeon (if you are going to paper-train it), I think you should start with the cage training first so that it gets used to you reaching in and clearing away the mess. That duty is normally either the mate's job or if it is a young one, the parent's job. Mine was young enough when I found him that he sees me as his parent so hand taming him was easier as he sees me as another pigeon instead of a predator. Not sure how old yours is, but pigeons are really good about being tamed no matter the age, it just takes time and a load of love. I started mine off with the cage training and the holding him near my chest so he can hear my heart while I walked around with him, doing chores around the house and that kind of thing. Eventually he got to the point of wanting to come out and being really calm while being held. Now I'm sure it is the same for all pigeons no matter the sex, that they WILL peck at you when your hand is in their cage and coo at you a lot when you are near it, especially when they get older. Cy was not territorial about his cage till he hit 3 years old, then started pecking and coo-growling whenever I stick my hands in the cage or fingers. But once you get him out he is fine. Best thing to do when they growl and peck is to show it doesn't hurt (even if it does) to teach them that pecking won't make you go away. Don't jerk your hand out or react in a negative way other than to tell them no in a firm but not aggressive voice. Then gently pick the bird up with both hands and pull them out and hold them near you. I always give kisses to Cy's head and he gets all happy about it.
Yours will probably be hard to handle for a few weeks or more depending on what kind of life it had before you got it. If the bird charges or tries to tear at your hands the first few days you try to pick it up, just show it you are only reaching in to change papers, food, water and maybe, if it doesn't seem stressed, pet it on the head or the back between the wings. When the bird stops tearing, even if it is still sort of pecking AT you not actually touching you, you can give it a treat. That is what I did for the first 2 weeks before Cy let me pet him without pecking me. Yes he still growled a little and pecked at me, but he trusted me enough to know I wouldn't hurt him, that hands were not dangerous. Two months later I was holding him without a problem and he was quite happy to be with me and even has a special coo for his "mommy" to pet him.
I hope this helps a bit! Pigeons are loads of fun once they are hands friendly.

Dude, you can write me a wall of text about birds any day. I really appreciate the time you took to teach me these things! I had no idea that's how people paper-trained birds. I've had birds nearly all my life but almost none were hand tame, they were "look but don't touch" pets. I used to have a pair of ringnecked doves that were really lovely and tolerated being handled, but my previous boyfriend didn't like them and I stupidly gave them away to make him happy. I should have given him away then and there, if only I knew :(
Luckily this bird is not aggressive-- she (lol arbitrarily choosing the gender here) only does that honking-growl when you try to touch her from above, not so much if you come at her from the side or under. I guess that's a start. Do you think that the size of the cage is particularly important for this learning process? The one she's in is not ideal (it's about 24"x24"x36" high) but it's what we had :S (it's our younger bird's old cage, back when he used to be a jerk to the other one he lived alone).
Silly questions but... does "the poo dance" become more obvious after successful cage training? I honestly can't tell when she's going to go until she fluffs and by then it's too late XD And am I to understand that Cy rings his own bell now?!
And another really silly question... what are your thoughts on parrot stands for pigeons? My doves mostly stayed where you put them, and if that's common among this kind of bird maybe I should look into making one for her.
Aww crap I'd write more but it's past 3am and I should get my butt in bed! If you have Skype, add me (wolfbird9), I'd love to talk about birds and other things!!

Yeah Cy gets weird if you try to pet him from above if you don't let him see your hand first, I think it is because he can't see the hand so he gets a bit irritated about it. Though my bird is getting old and is going blind me thinks :/
Cage size is important for cage training, we started Cy off in a parakeet cage when we first found him because it was all we could afford/find in the area at the time. Poor thing just hung out on the hanging perch and when we did finally get him a good sized cage, he only stayed in one corner for months due to that being the only 'room' he remembered having. The current one he lives in is 25" wide, by 15" deep, by 15" tall. As he doesn't fly he doesn't need the height, but the width and the depth are important to him. Now as he gets out quite a bit and is an older bird he doesn't do much walking around when in the cage and he doesn't really do much except sleep, eat and some times play with the toys we have on the sides of the bars (and preen, gosh he preens a lot. silly bird), his current cage size is fine for him.
Yours should be bigger so that your bird can roam, especially seeing as she isn't hands friendly yet and so won't be out very much. Unless you plan on having a perch or two set in different areas of the cage for the bird to fly to, the height isn't important so long as the bird has at least 3 inches from the top of it's head (when the neck is stretched out/standing up tall) to the cage bars (roof) so that they don't bump their head and don't feel trapped. The width/depth sounds good, but seeing as Pigeons are not mainly perching/clinging birds, they are roosting birds, so your cage should have a flat bar-less floor for the bird to walk on. We are using a rabbit/rat/guinea pig habitat without the extra inside junk, with newspapers covered with a layer or two of paper towels for softness and to help keep the newspaper underneath from getting nasty so fast. You should not (no matter what anybody else says on this matter) simply use newspaper as a cover for the bottom of the cage, you must always cover the newspaper with paper towels to keep the ink off the birds feet and feathers or they WILL get sick. The newspaper is mainly there to give the paper towels something to stick to when they get soiled so you can just roll them up. Newspaper is also a good floor if you do have bars as a floor, as they act as the stiff floor for your paper towels to sit on and the bird to walk on. That is what we did the first time we got Cy a big parrot cage with bars on the floor. His toes kept getting caught in the bars/under tray, so we just put the papers on the top instead of the tray itself and his feet were saved.
If you are not getting your pigeon's wings clipped (Cy has had a broken wing since before we found him so he can't fly, only use them to help jump a bit), you will need to get a harness for when you have the bird out unless it is in a room that will not have any doors/windows being opened and the bird is being watched. I have small dog/cat harness that I use for Cy on top of him wearing the diaper, and yes he has the leash. Pigeons love to roam around and once they are attached to you, they will follow you and anyone you have living with you all the time. Cy is always under foot when I have him out XD
They are not silly questions at all!
Poo dance does indeed become more obvious, and it is really not too hard to train yourself to notice the small signs in the beginning. It also helps to kinda know when the bird does the most pooing, either right before/after eating, or just before they are ready to sleep. Each bird has a different schedule (our parakeet would do it tons of times a day but she learned the same way Cy did and would actually ask with a certain chirp to be taken out to poo later on), Cy does his right after eating and drinking and right before he naps. He also does it while sleeping, which cannot be avoided as they will do it quite often at night, though once trained -at least for Cy - they might hold it up to four hours before going. Cy is put to bed at 11pm and normally, unless he eats a lot that day, will wait until I get up at 8am to make the big messes. Sure, he leaves little ones, but the big messes he waits and asks to be let out for. Again, Pigeons are clean birds when it comes to the nest so they HATE having a mess of droppings and old food/feathers in their cage and will try their best to find a way to keep it from being nasty, which is why they take to paper/trash can training so well I think.
Yes Cy does ring his own bell! Sometimes he doesn't though, he just sits near the door of the cage and paces really fast back and forth, and that's how I know he has to go. I think in his older age he forgets to ring the bell.
If you train her to stay put, she might stay on a parrot stand, but that isn't something I know a lot about. I didn't train Cy to stay in one spot, I've always wanted him around me so I just let him roam/follow. Doves do normally stay perched in an area for a while, unless something sets them off.
I've added ya on Skype! It will be from screen name Thosk.
Also, I've got a thunderstorm going on where I am that is for some reason (it has not happened before), is blocking my Internet hotspot at times. So I may not be able to reply today or tomorrow until it clears up enough for the hotspot to work properly.

I'll see about upgrading the cage ASAP when it's determined if she's staying with us or not. My SO is still kind of on the fence about it; years ago when we found Howard I promised "no more pets" but like... it's not my fault! XD
I didn't know they can get sick from newspaper dye :S So many people say it's the better thing to use so... wtf. I'd prefer not to take chances and follow your advice about it (+ ideal cage sizing, etc), you seem to know what you're doing <3
A dog/cat harness? Interesting! NGL I did have thoughts of taking her out with me when she's ready for it. It would probably make her life more interesting than hanging around inside all day.
Herp derp, it's a working night for me so I should get off my PC and get to sewing! We'll catch up on Skype when your storm is over. Be safe!

Yea tons of people don't realize that the ink on the newspaper does in fact harm the birds in much the same way it can humans. Notice if you smell newspaper for too long you get a headache, or if you have the ink on your fingers/hands/arms..wherever it touched you and left some behind, it starts to itch. The same can happen to the birds!
Yup! I put the cat harness on Cy and it works wonders. I can make a video of me putting on his diaper and harness(s) (he has one cat and one dog harness that we change depending on what he will be doing in them) if you want to see how to fit them on a bird. I take Cy out with his harness and let him perch on my hand or arm or even shoulder while I walk outside; he loves it so much that when he hears the cat bell we have on the harness, he comes running to his cage door XD.

I just walked up and picked her up! At first when I saw her I was like "wow, I don't think I've ever seen a pure white wild pigeon before" but then something looked... off about the way she moved so I approached her.
I looked outside today and it's a howling ice storm of awfulness. Man, I am so glad we ran out of bacon and decided to walk on that side of the street! Poor little thing.

It is very possible it was from a wedding of some sort or something else where they like to release white doves. This happens very often people think that like the wild ones they can simply survive free. Poor thing must be starving and terrified. Seriously jealous though I want a dove/pigeon so bad.
There are even professionals who will release white doves at ceremonies for you, I think the birds are trained to come back, at least I hope they are and aren't just set free.
Even these as pets often get "set free" since hey we have wilds ones they will be fine.
It's like people with cats, oh they hunt so i can just abandon it, and it wont starve.... yes it will dumb ass.

It's possible! There's one company who does this in Montreal and their birds, presumably homer pigeons, do look a lot like this one (pet store couple were trying to release a domesticated African species, whole different ball game). Generally though, you'd think if a bird is at least somewhat valuable you'd bother to put a leg band on it when it's a squab-- unless Colombe-Montreal sees them as disposable, one-time use animals and doesn't care if they come back or not. This one has no leg band :/
she is cute ^^
my pigeon is a beautiful mean rapist pigeon :( and anything is game. cups, socks, shoes, my dogs toys. it goes on and on lol
and no way you are petting him he grabs what skin he can and shakes his head like a dog.
its no wonder the people who had him before me dropped him off lol

Actually... sounds like mine. At first he was really sedate and we thought that was his personality, but no, he was just half-dead. Now that he's feeling better he is really angry all the time and now great, I'm stuck with this thing that no one else wants and it hates my face :(
I had hoped he was wild so after keeping him for a bit to make sure he was ok, ( the vet I had worked for liked to do practice bird surgeries on pigeons because she sees them as expendable so I saved him from that) I tried to let him go at some shops that had lots of other pigeons I soon found out he had no idea how to fly :/ so my next guess was some one got him at our state fair because he was pretty or something but then they just dropped him off because he is a huge D bag lol and I have had him for 3-4 years now.
